Just listened to it. I was a bit surprised that Mussman guaranteed a victory a la Joe Namath.

Talked about the benefit of having one conference as opposed to a separate conference for football, how excited everybody is to join the Big Sky, how recruiting has already expanded westward and will continue to do so, how UND is committed to being a competitive football program in the Big Sky, how UND doesn't have the depth yet to be where we want to be, how youth and inexperience has resulted in a lot of mistakes this year, and how UND won't be intimidated at Montana due to experience of having played FBS programs the past two years.

One of my good freinds is a Griz season ticket holder. He is very excited to see UND on Sat. and even more excited they joined the Big Sky. He said the Griz have been playing "decent" as of late. He feels the Griz will score a bunch on UND but could give up a bunch as well.

His guess is Griz by a couple TDs when it is all said and done...and I couldn't argue against that.

UND football: Despite opposite records, Sioux, Griz similarities exist

Their records are reversed but Pflugrad still sees a lot of similarities between the Sioux and Grizzlies.

Who is all planning on heading to Missoula? I'm flying in tomorrow afternoon, meeting up with a couple guys that are driving from NoDak.

[Sioux Grandpa]

We are flying in tomorrow night. Going to pre-game on Saturday morning. Looking forward to a fun a weekend. GO SIOUX!!!

I was banned for a while, so I don't want to offend anyone, but has interest for Sioux football dropped off the face of the earth? Hardly any comments on here, like 2 people on egriz, you are playing Montana, remember? Come on guys!

But UND also play hockey versus Wisconsin this weekend. It's only about ten times more important to Sioux fans.

I agree.

It seems like everyone is waiting...waiting...waiting....for games to matter. The hardcore fans know that all of these transition games are important for building momentum, etc....but the average fan just can't seem to get interested. I think that is to be expected. Also, I think most people are pretty apathetic about this year's squad, and expect us to lose at Montana.

IF UND was to upset Montana, I think many more people would pay attention to the program, and it would be a great stepping stone into next year and beyond. Call them "bandwagon fans", but we would certainly take anyone to get some excitement going again. I think it will happen, but I'm afraid it might not be until 2012.

Watch the game folks! It is on TV at 1 pm.

GO SIOUX!

BEAT MONTANA!

Unfortunately/Fortunately, take your pick, NDSU vs SDSU are on FSN on Directv at 3 pm in the Twin cities. Would rather watch UND vs UM.

My flight leaves in about 3 hours - can't express how excited I am!

Have a safe flight!!

For some reason I have a feeling about this game. Not sure why.

I could see UND pulling off the win...

Alternatively, Hendrickson and Goska might complete 5 of 25 passes and we get blown out.

I'm going to go with:

UND 24

Montana 21

Talked to my buddy tonight. He said Griz a totally different team at home than on the road. He said they pass the ball well...even to the other team. If this game were a road game for the Griz, he'd call it a pick 'em.

I called it 38-21 Griz. His call 35-24 Griz.
